Eric Lawton reviewed Snakes in Suits by Robert D. Hare
Review of 'Snakes in Suits' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
Probably worth five stars. Just downgraded because I found it too long for what I wanted to get out of it. I saw it referenced by a few scholarly articles on psychopathy so it seems to be reasonably well respected in the field.
Based on the idea that high-functioning psychopaths, those that are good at planning and foresight, do not get caught committing crimes and may even not commit them because in the business world their ambitions can more easily be fulfilled by perfectly legal means.
I think there are many more whose behaviour is not clinically psychopathic but exhibits many of the characteristics some of the time. I had hoped for more discussion of that but it's not the author's fault that they didn't cover it.
